The closing night of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday drew about 26.2 million TV viewers, narrowly outpacing the Republican National Convention’s final night, according to data from the media measurement company Nielsen.
The convention’s final night aired across 15 television networks and drew about 820,000 more viewers than the estimated 25.4 million people who watched the final night of the Republican event, Nielsen reported.
Let’s crush the GOP! Vote!
I’m going to vote for Harris because Trump is an existential threat to the US and the tiny shred of actual democracy we still have left, but I’m getting really damn tired of having a choice between the conservative party cosplaying as liberals and the fascist party cosplaying as conservatives. First past the post may very well be the worst choice in the history of the US in terms of damage it has done to this country.
Ranked choice, single transferable vote, alternative vote…really anything besides first past the post.
You’re not wrong. Please continue to spread the word with everyone you know.
Feeling like you’re always voting strategically, feeling like your vote doesn’t matter especially in a deep red or blue state, or so much money in politics… Campaign finance / election reform is the number one issue.
There needs to be a growing grassroots movement state by state to push for a new Constitutional Amendment.
ActBlue says grassroots donors contributed more than $100 million during the DNC this week. Just during the hour after Vice President Harris’ acceptance speech, donors sent $7.2 million to Democratic candidates through the platform.
I do t watch shit like this, but it’s still frightening that the numbers are so close.
I didn’t even contribute to that number, I think. I watched it live online, but it sounds like it’s TV only? Who even still has TV, pfft.
20 minutes of screaming, ovations and audience shots.
Is this… politics?
